The
Film ends with Hope. There is a salvation for humanity. The New
Woman/Humanity does not open Pandora's Box. In deed, we all have
a choice. We can chose the the way way of death or the way of life.
In the Greek myth of Pandors's Box, Zeus also supplied blessed Hope
among the evil demons of the box. So that after the box was opened
hope would prevent humans from killing themselves in total despair
and suffering. Lesson: There is always Hope, no matter what the
situation!
He
who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything.
--ARABIAN PROVERB
Behind the cloud the starlight lurks,
Through showers the sunbeams fall;
For God, who loveth all his works
Has left his hope with all!
--JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER (1807–1892)
As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is a mere flattery or
platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins
to be a strength. Like all the Christian virtues, it is as unreasonable
as it is indispensable.
--G. K. CHESTERTON (1874–1936)
Hope has a thick skin and will endure many a blow; it will put on
patience as a vestment, it will wade through a sea of blood, it
will endure all things if it be of the right kind, for the joy that
is set before it. Hence patience is called “patience of hope,”
because it is hope that makes the soul exercise patience and long-suffering
under the cross, until the time comes to enjoy the crown.
--JOHN BUNYAN (1628–1688)
HOPE
one of the three main elements of Christian character (1 Cor. 13:13).
It is joined to faith and love,
and is opposed to seeing or possessing (Romans 8:24; 1 John 3:2).
Hope
is an essential and fundamental element of Biblical Faith, so essential
indeed, that, like faith and love,
it can itself designate the essence of powerful Faith (1 Peter 3:15;
Hebrews 10:23).
In
it the whole glory of the Biblical Faith vocation is centred (Ephes.
1:18; Ephes. 4:4).”
Unbelievers
are without this Hope (Ephes. 2:12;
1 Thes. 4:13).
Christ
is the actual object of the believer's Hope,
because it is in Jesus' second coming that the Hope
of glory will be fulfilled (1 Tim. 1:1; Col. 1:27; Titus 2:13).
Hope
is spoken of as “lively”, i.e., a living hope --a Hope
not frail and perishable, but having a perennial life (1 Peter 1:3).
In
Romans 5:2 the “Hope” spoken
of is probably objective, i.e., “the Hope
set before us,” namely, eternal life (comp. Romans 12:12).
